Asc 390010122 Gruvlok Slidelok Grooved Coupling 8 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390010122 is a Gruvlok SlideLok grooved coupling designed for use in piped mechanical systems where a rigid or flexible grooved-end connection is required. This 8-inch coupling is constructed from ductile iron, offering the durability and strength needed in commercial and industrial piping applications. The SlideLok design allows for streamlined field assembly, reducing installation time on larger-diameter pipe runs. Weighing 14.49 pounds, it is sized for 8-inch grooved pipe and is typically installed by licensed pipefitters, mechanical contractors, or plumbing professionals working on mid- to large-scale systems.

This coupling is suited for commercial HVAC piping, fire protection systems, and industrial process piping where grooved-end mechanical joining is the specified connection method. The 8-inch size places it in the range of main distribution lines and primary loop piping. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit projects where grooved coupling systems are already in use or are being adopted to reduce welding and threading labor on site.

Key Features

• SlideLok grooved coupling design for efficient field assembly on 8-inch pipe
• Ductile iron construction provides high strength and impact resistance
• Grooved-end mechanical connection eliminates the need for welding or threading at the joint
• Compatible with standard roll-grooved and cut-grooved pipe ends in the 8-inch size range
• Weighs 14.49 pounds, consistent with heavy-duty commercial and industrial service

Compatibility

Designed as a grooved mechanical coupling for use with 8-inch grooved-end pipe in commercial and industrial piping systems. No specific compatible model numbers or system families were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation of grooved couplings should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or licensed mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before removing or replacing any coupling. Inspect the pipe ends for proper groove dimensions and gasket seating surface condition before assembly. Follow the manufacturer torque guidelines for housing bolt fasteners as published in the Gruvlok installation instructions for this coupling series.
